Hi Guys!

Am starting this a little earlier than usual as my OH is downstairs and Im in bed watching boring TV:D ....this week we are having:

Thursday: Sausage Cassarole & Baked Spud
Friday: Pizza & Salad
Saturday: Steak, Oven Chips, Corn On Cob & Garlic Bread
Sunday: At friends for dinner
Monday: Chops, Mash & Veg
Tuesday: Fish, Roasties & Veg
Wednesday: Chicken Stir Fry & Noodles
Thursday: Egg, Chips and Beans (bread and butter)

We have all the main meal foods in but will need top ups of fresh fruit and veg, although I have some frozen and tinned that needs using. Will also need a few fridge bits.

OH is doing a list of everything we have in the freezer, then I will know for sure what we have in for future mealplans.

Breakfasts will be things such as: Apple or OJ, cereal, toast, porridge or something on toast or bacon sarnie etc

Lunches: left-overs, baked spuds with tuna or cheese/coleslaw, sarnies or soup

So, what are you all having?

Have a good one.

    Now then Pen Pin, I know your bored, but I dont think you've been upstairs a whole month ;) Unless it is November, and I've been upstairs a whole month:D

    Fri - HM Pizza and HM Wedges

    Sat - Hot Dogs and wedges

    Sun - out at an Indian Restaurant

    Mon - Roast Chicken with all the trimmings

    Tues - Chicken Curry (again :rolleyes: )

    Wed - Chicken with green pepper in black bean sauce

    Just realised, its very similar to last weeks meal plan... so I might have to change a few meals, I am soooooooo boring :D
    I also remember the words of my friends, but I would rather have enemies than friends like you :p

    :p would like to make it known that ZubeZubes avvy is a DHN, she's not dancing :o

    Morning all

    Don't worry about your meal plan being like last week Outrageous_Monkey.. I have some things that turn up nearly every week as they are faves and we would only sulk if they weren't there:D

    this week our meal plan looks like this... in no particular order :p
    1. tonight is :- -chicken n leek cobbler with green beans and cabbage -leftover roast and green beans from garden
    2. corned beef hash n dumplings
    3. gyros fajjitas -hm wraps -
    4. potato and onion layer with HM bread
    5. pasta bake -using roasted veggies I froze from the garden
    6. corned beef hash pie -using other half of no.2 up :D
    7. roast chicken dinner with roasties, HM stuffing, carrots, cabbage, beans n peas
    All of that little lot will be done in the remoska instead of in the oven :D which will save even more money :j I have had it 9 days and I still haven't had to put the oven on....
    Hubbies lunches are HM soups and HM bread, I will have anything leftover from the night before :p
    Im working my way through the fridge, freezers and cupboards and half way through my month and I have only spent €5.48 :T

    Hubby loves gyros.. but a takeaway ones cost us €15 -which we object to.. we have found a frozen meat that I do with roasted onions n peppers in Hm tortilas with tzatziki -and its much nicer too. the meat costs €2.49 and does us two meals each :T .... and hubby can have it every week this way :D
